    Mount it read only.

    see
    Code:
    man mount
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.

    I am not sure if you can write protect a partition but you can write protect the folder that refer to that partition... In Linux "every-thing-is-a-folder" !
    To achieve that, you might learn about mount (as said Irithori),
    also chmod and chown if you feel like knowing about these commands.
